RE: SQL DateAdd help needed

Thanks Wilt - you just eased my headache!  Although I had substitute
current_date with current_timestamp, but easy enough.  

As an interesting side note, I don't believe I have ever seen that
syntax anywhere!

Hi group,
 
I have been banging my head into a wall.  At some point our "date"
functions changed on the iSeries with respect to SQL queries.  So now 
every time I have to deal with them, I get a headache.
 
I'm trying to do a simply select stuff from table where datefield > 
date.
 
I've tried using dateadd(day, -30, current_timestamp) and 
current_timestamp and many combinations thereof with no luck.  Could 
somebody be kind enough and provide an actual working sql statement 
that will give me a resultset for records between 30 days ago and now?

As an FYI, I'm trying to run this from the Op Nav "Run A Script" 
interface.
The iSeries is on V5R3.
 
And as long as I'm asking, I will need a "datediff" statement after I 
get this one figured out.  ;-)
 
Thanks,
Kelly
